The festival is growing into a world-class event, uniting new filmmakers with critics, scholars, and the movie-loving public.

The European Short Film Festival is dedicated to new filmmakers. We accept low-budget short films in every genre, on any topic from every country around the world. Special attention is paid to first and second time directors, and films that overcome budget limitations in new and innovative ways. The European Short Film Festival brings attention to the most talented emerging filmmakers, showcasing their work to audiences around Europe.
